The poetic irony of this goddamn book. I need to roll myself into a cocoon for months to properly digest it.

3.0

I like Sansa more than I did in the first book. I do like Catlyn more in this book. I do not like Tyrion or his plot. I like Davos but not Stannis.

Spoiler

I knew Ramsay was going to pop up and that he was not dead. I do not like Theon aka the rapists.

No new feelings on Arya or Bran. I love Jon he is my favorite. Danny is my second favorite. 

Spoiler

I like that Bran and Jon were able to learn a bit about them being wargs. I hate that Danny is surrounded by pedos. Sending the Dire wolves ahead as they stayed in the crypts was smart.

The book changed tonally drastically in the last 10 or so chapters, an indicator of what’s to come in the next book. But I really liked it and I cannot stop thinking about it. I fear the red wedding scene a lot. I want to skip it and maybe I will. Also, Theon you’re an ass. 
Okay so fav POVs in order (sort of)
1. Catelyn (MILF extraordinaire and literally the only one with a brain cell)
2. Jon 
3. Daenerys (House of Undying chapter ftw!)
4. Bran
5. Davos (the whole red priestess business, my man aged 5 decades in 5 minutes lol)
6. Arya and Sansa
7. Tyrion (fairly neutral on his POV though he’s so misogynistic towards his sister and Tysha, not to forget Shae)
8. Theon (he’s dumb of ass and I really do not like him)
Scared for the next book so I am going to take a few days and then start it 💀

After listening to the first book, I was nervous to try the second book. However, I loved it. The plot  became more action packed and I became more invested in the Seven Kingdoms. I also liked the character development of Sansa, Ayra, Jon, Tyrion and Deneris. I also liked the introduction of new characters of Theon and Davos.
